Artist - Tom Waits
Album - Bad As Me
Song - Last Leaf
I thought Tom Waits had already written some of his most beautiful songs. I was wrong.
Capo 5th
I'm the Clast Gleaf on the Ctree C7  
The Fautumn took the rest 
But Cthey won't take Amme 
I'm the Clast Gleaf on the Ctree 
CWhen the autumn wind blows 
They're Amalready gone 
They Fflutter to the ground 
Cause they Gcan't hang on 
There's Cnothing in the world 
That AmI ain't seen 
I Fgreet all the new ones that are Gcoming in green 
I'm the last leaf on the tree 
The autumn took the rest but they wont take me 
I'm the last leaf on the tree 
They say I got staying power 
Here on the tree 
But I've been here since Eisenhower 
And I've out lived even he 
I'm the last leaf on the tree 
The autumn took the rest but they won't take me 
I'm the last leaf on the tree 
I fight off the snow 
I fight off the hail 
Nothing makes me go 
I'm like some vestigial tail 
I'll be here through eternity 
If you want to know how long 
If they cut down this tree 
I'll show up in a song 
I'm the last leaf on the tree 
The autumn took the rest but they won't take me 
I'm the Clast Gleaf on the Ctree 
I'm the Clast Gleaf on the Ctree 
I'm the Clast Gleaf on the Ctree
Alternatively, if you want to play the song capo'd on the 1st:

 C7= E7  
 G= B
